About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Romantic
  • Great for outdoor dining
Tucked away in the heart of West University, Tinys No. 5 is a chef driven restaurant and bakery that believes in food that feels fresh, rustic and beautiful. We enjoy small menus featuring "from scratch" cooking. Our produce and fish are delivered fresh every single day and we make almost everything we serve in house all the way down to the honey we get from our own bees. Our flatbreads on our meat & cheese board, our house made pizzas, and the day’s catch are just a few items that are prepared each night in our wood burning oven. We are passionate about our food, but we feel even stronger about providing our guests with exceptional service from a well-mannered and smiling staff and don't leave without trying one of our famous chocolate chip cookies!

    I like the ambiance of the place. The noise level is not overwhelming that you can still have decent conversation going. Although for the most of our meal was very good, they severely undercook their chicken. That was very disappointing. For the price you pay for half a chicken and have it served undercooked was highly unbecoming for the place. Good thing we had the meat and cheese board and pizza to save our dining experience.

    Bring a sweater! We were freezing cold. We were told this was where the freezers where when it used to be a grocery store.

    The food was indeed superb and the service was great. Unfortunately, they cannot serve cocktails as they are not allowed to serve spirited drinks being so close to a school.

    Met friends for dinner at this, my favorite restaurant. Everyone was very pleased. The summer menu was in place which meant my favorite dish was not available, the buffalo filet with the blue cheese risotto. The shrimp and risotto however was delicious as well as the kale Caesar. The bottles of Omen Pinot noir kept the conversation flowing. Our waiter took care of our every need and Joy ensured our tables were perfect. Keep up the great work. We’ll be back soon!
